No information at all? Anyhow, the map marker is completely wrong. The address might have been 213 S Cedar. I think the building is still there, with a really ugly remodel.
The map marker is completely wrong. This building will be demolished soon. The top floor is gutted and windowless, and the theater doors are boarded over.
How sure are we on the address. This building really doesn’t look like a theater, and it’s oddly located at one edge of town. There is a building at 100 E Washington which was definitely a theater, then city hall, now Amvets. No streetview available, but it’s the building on the SE corner of the intersection of Washington and Main.
Theater should be listed as closed. Black garbage bags covering the doors, so I couldn’t see in. Still in fantastic shape. I don’t know why anyone thought the sign was freshly painted. Thankfully, it’s been untouched since it was installed.
Probably should be demolished. Google can’t find an 1806 Franklin. Well, it says it can, but it drops the marker in the 2800 block. Streets weren’t renumbered, the St. Louis Plating building in the current streetview has a very faded ‘2920’ painted next to the door. Maybe MLK used to be Franklin? In that case, the 1800 block features a huge old school and some big ugly industrial thing.
Unless there was another theater, which I doubt, this is not demolished. Looks like it is storage for an antique store. It’s a little red brick thing with gray limestone trim and a glass block ticket booth. I doubt the seating is correct. 811 is significantly more than the population of the town in 1940-50. It is on the east side of S Broadway, 2nd building north of Nichols. No streetview, and the google map is a complete mess with all the markers in the middle of the road, so I’m not sure on a number.

The theater closed for good on 10/3/16.
That’s because it hasn’t been demolished yet. Soon means in the next few months, presumably.

Anyone know what happened to the marquee?
Not sure how to add a streetview, but this is the fourth building north of Temple on the east side of 3rd. The building is derelict, but still there.

Front is now ugly fake stucco siding and while the bare frame of the marquee is still up, it’s lost any interesting features.
I guess this should be listed as demolished.
It’s now a meat packing operation, or it was in 2010. I visited for some work with the USDA inspector, and the interior is completely gutted.

Needs to be listed as demolished.
It’s an absolutely hideous remodel, but that is the old building. Note the roofline under that ugly cladding.
Unless streetview is wrong, this should be demolished.
Looks like the upper story is there, but the auditorium and lobby were torn out for parking.
Should be listed as demolished.

Should be listed as demolished. Even in 2007, streetview shows a park there.
It’s listed as demolished, but that auto shop sure looks like the same building.
Should NOT be listed as demolished.
April 2015 streetview shows the building has suffered a fire. I’ll try to verify its existence soon.
Should be listed as demolished.
Should be listed as Closed.
Really low quality listing.

Theater is closed. Foreclosure sale took place in January ‘16.
